How could this possibly happen?
When a convicted murderer,
Billy O’Brien, serving two consecutive life sentences, is suddenly released
from a maximum security prison due to a clerical error, a massive man-hunt
ensues.
Not
only are the BPD and Massachusetts State Police trying to find the escaped
convict — but so are the FBI and the CIA — and the Mob — each for entirely
different reasons. Chris Callahan is a retired Boston homicide detective,
who also happens to be O’Brien’s childhood friend… and the officer who put him
behind bars.
The
entire law enforcement community agrees on only one thing:
Callahan
is the only one who can bring him in…alive.

Not very far from the big city is a very special farm.
It’s special because it grows special trees…Christmas trees!
The trees are able to stretch their graceful branches covered with needles and pine cones toward the sun as they grow taller and taller-
all but one.
all but one.
“The Loneliest Tree celebrates themes of continuity, enduring faith and vision, and surviving loss and rejection at a special holiday season of love and peace.”

Did the perfect company get away with the perfect crime?
They had the perfect business plan. The investors ponied up the
millions they needed. The company was humming along on all cylinders. And then one day they
disappeared. Along with all their research, files and computers ... and a vial
of the deadly Ebola virus that no one knew they had.
Enter Stephen Blackman, a fifty-something burned-out lawyer
working his first case as a private investigator. Hired to try and find the
missing scientists, Blackman turns up a dead body instead. And when the FBI arrives on
the scene Blackman can’t be sure if they’re good guys or bad. But he’s caught
up in this high-stakes, high-risk and highly confusing case to find the missing
scientists before someone releases the deadly virus on an unsuspecting world. Blackman bounces against
the worlds of international espionage, national politics, and high technology
in the first of a series featuring a different kind of private eye.

Spring in New York finds a group of seven friends
struggling to reunite a year after college. There’s the beautiful, yet
all-too-trusting Lana; David, the urbane womanizer; lost Aaron; Amanda, the
ambitious opportunist; and Hunter, the troubled pariah. Telling their story is
Will Harrison who, while trying to bring his friends together, begins to
explore a future with his childhood sweetheart, Emily. Dingy subways, towering
apartments, candlelit tables, white hospital rooms, and of course, Central
Park, are just some of the destinations in this story of relationships – both
strengthened and forgotten.
